running 1:25:00 [3] 15.0 km (5:40 / km)
Travelled further north to the point where I have been running to, and ran further north from there. Passed a wrecked boat that was almost completely buried in the sand, and thousands of jelly fish stranded on the beach (no exaggeration!). Funny, didn't feel like a dip in the sea after I'd finished today! Might wear my trunks next time too!
Not finding much speed in these runs, but it's good to get some distance. Obviously it's all flat, but there is some drag from the sand that must offset that a bit.
If I'm going to finish the Nine Edges in Sept I need to be able to run the equivalent of the last few days all in one go. And if i am going to better last year's time I need to work a lot harder.

beach run. had a brainwave late this afternoon. Wanted a run and was trying to think of somewhere different to go. Thought about driving to a beach and running along it; so checked the tide timetables and it was perfect - low tide. So I drove to Glen Mooar north of Peel, then ran along the beach, past Glen Wyllin, and Kirk Michael (when I was little all these were separate beaches to me, but it's really just different ways of getting to the same beach), then there were miles before the next beach access and there was just me and various sea birds and acres of hard wet sand, perfect for running on. Soooooooooo, liberating and exhilarating. The sky was doing amazing things too; the sun peeking through sometimes casting streaks of light on the sea, and in the distance (thankfully behind me) the sky was ominously black. Hadn't quite reckoned on the wind being against me on the way back though. Then took a short dip in the sea before getting back in the car, where half of last night's pizza was waiting for me! Magic! I think this could be something to repeat :)
